Please note the following regarding diluted EPS guidance:
- Fiscal year 2025 interest, net is expected to be approximately $106.0 million compared to $95.0 million in fiscal year 2024, predominately as a result of higher variable rate debt used to complete a portion of the previously mentioned share buybacks through July 17, 2024. This may change as a result of future share buybacks or acquisition activity;
- Our fiscal 2025 effective tax rate is expected to be 20.4%, the same compared to fiscal 2024;
- Guidance does not include any future share buybacks or significant economic disruptions or downturn.
On May 2, 2024, Cintas announced that its Board of Directors approved a four-for-one split of its common stock. Shareholders of record, as of September 4, 2024, will receive three additional shares for each share held, which will be distributed after market close on September 11, 2024.

Our financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 will be reported after the completion of the stock split.
The following table shows our fiscal 2024 diluted EPS and our fiscal 2025 diluted EPS outlook on a proforma basis after the impact of the recently announced common stock split.
